Perhaps you won't believe it, but Katschina really said "yes," and smiled. It was very different from the grin of the "Chessy cat" that Alice saw in Wonderland. Some one came flying down the path. "Father," exclaimed Dolly, "come and have a cup of tea or a glass of beer. Stephen and his sister think they can't stay to supper.
It was pink, I remember, which was supposed to be the rosy color of success in our school; and I says: 'Pa! There's my report! And Pa, I says, as bold and stuck-up as a brass weathercock on a new church, 'Pa! Teacher says that one of your boys has got to go to college! And I was grinning all the while, I remember, worse than any Chessy cat.
Their ridiculous grimaces caused shouts of laughter from the Chessy Cats who were not being measured at the moment. "Midget! she's the one that counts!" cried King. "She's got a smile like an earthquake! Flossy Flouncy, here, she won't count half as much!" Marjorie only laughed at King's comment, and spread her rosy lips in a desperate effort to beat the record.
"I shall be interested in seeing what I can make of him, and he hasn't a bad influence over Diogenes, but I'll be hanged if anything would induce me to have 'Them Three' Chessy cats running wild over us. They can live in their house alone, or be put in a reformatory. We won't have them. We're under no obligations, pecuniary or moral, to look after them."
"You all seem happy," he said; "a fine lot of Chessy Cats. You know Chessy Cats are remarkable for their wide grins. But as I have a prize for the side that shows most grin, I have to be careful of my decision. Miss Hart, if you will help me, I think we'll have to find out exactly which row of Chessy Cats grins the widest."
"I knew your mouth was two inches bigger than Delight's!" "Oh, no, brother," rejoined Midge, "it's because your mouth is so tiny you can't smile very well!" But whatever the reason, there was a good two inches difference in the aggregate, so Flip Henderson's side was the winner. "As all the Chessy Cats grinned nobly, you must all have prizes," said Mr.
They all laughed, and needless to say, the bear was left for the baby, whose turn came last. Delight chose a little white kitten, with a blue ribbon round its neck, and Gladys took a fierce-looking tiger. Everybody agreed they had never attended a jollier party, and the smiles, as they said good-bye, were indeed of the Chessy Cat variety.
"Ourday isn't over yet, Father," said Midge, after the last guest had gone. "Oho, I think it's time little Chessy Cats went to bed," said Mr. Maynard. "No, indeed! the party was from four to seven, and though they staid a little later, it's only half-past seven now. And Ourday nights we always stay up till half-past eight." "My stars! a whole hour more of Chessy Cats!
"I ain't never hear tell of a pole-cat grinnin'," corrected Billy, "he jes' smell worser 'n what a billy goat do." "It is Chessy cats that grin," explained Lina. "Look like folks would get 'em a lot of pole-cats stead o' chillens always hafto be wearing assfetty bags 'round their nakes, so's they can keep off whopping-cough," said Frances.
"Of course it's his own business," retorted Grief. "But who would ever think " Again they grinned. When Hawker entered the den some minutes later he might have noticed something unusual in the general demeanour. "Say, Grief, will you loan me your What's up?" he asked. For answer they grinned at each other, and then grinned at him. "You look like a lot of Chessy cats," he told them.
